Cool dragonfly.
Good compositions
For me, the lighting is overdone. The highlights are blown, but not as bad in the second pic. The sun is killing the first pic for me. I like the reflection in the second pic but the soft shoreline is not working.
for the first pic i was at F22 and 1/250 (the fastest my strobes can sync)
so i was sort of maxed out to get that sun to look good. i guess i need some filters or something.
and for the second pic, what do you mean by soft shoreline? you mean how the trees blend in with the shoreline? it was becoming pitch black outside. so it was pretty hard even getting a background.
thanks for the cc!
